Caring for the Elderly

ELDERLY CARE - As far back as I can remember in my life, I have had a connection to the elderly. When I was younger, I am now 48 years old, I wanted to spend all my time with my Grandparents. I clearly recall my parents saying to me "Don't you love us anymore?". My parents were just joking with me at the time, but did wonder about the deep connection I had for my Grandparents.

As I grew older, I would go visit the elderly in elderly care homes in our area. I have always felt a need to care for and just "be there" for the elderly, especially the ones who dodn't have anyone else in their life, they had been abandoned by their family or their loved ones have passed on. I am now 48 years old and care for my adopted "Granny" and my Mom. It is such a deep rewarding feeling that warms my soul to help others, especially ones that really need the help and the love of someone who really cares.
